Hi ! I use your charts alot ! Could you please add a feature to add several Moving Averages to the same item on the graph. For example: Logs. Be able to add multiple moving averages to view all at the same time. ex: 7day avg 30 day avg and 90 day avg all in the same chart.

Just wanted to see if this was intentional as I cannot see information regarding the Vial Smash, but instead just information on Barbarian Guards. Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86ed (talk) on 16:42, 27 January 2019 (UTC).

In the Pay-to-play Runecrafting training guide there is a small formatting error in the Abyss Runecrafting section where the text Players worried about defence can use the listed gear: is 'floating' in the middle of the page instead of just above the equipment table it's referring to. I am unable to change this, as nothing happens upon saving the edit. Hopefully someone can fix this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Krokuspokus (talk) on 19:29, 25 February 2019 (UTC).

There is something wrong with the Slayer monster category / Category:Slayer monsters, it appears that every single attackable monster is listed there even though many of them cannot be assigned as slayer monster i.e. Fire Wizard, Hazeel Cultist, Gadderanks and many many others. I assume it's because they all got the slaylvl and slayxp variables, but can it be so they won't be categorized as slayer monsters when they aren't? 5.186.113.246 19:27, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

This is a known bug we've been looking into. -- SpineTalk 19:28, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

I just noticed that in the article about spinning plates it states that "Usually, the plate will fall and the player will do the cry emote. Occasionally, the plate will continue to spin, and the player will make the cheer emote". I however noticed that the plate never fell with me (I bought a spinning plate and spun it in my poh at least 5 times without it falling). not the most important info, but I tought I'd tell you guys. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.98.153.47 (talk) on 19:33, 28 June 2019.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I've fixed the error in question. If you see any more errors, feel free to correct them. --ScuzzyBeta 00:59, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

The most helpful information on farming contracts on the Wiki is currently attached to the page for Guildmaster Jane. I find that 100% of the time I spend on this page is for farming contracts rather than that NPC. It would make sense to me to have Farming contracts have their own Wiki page, rather than piggybacking on an NPC page. The info could also instead be added to the Farming Guild page, where the current information on contracts is fairly lacking. I would be happy to do this myself, but I'm not comfortable making such large edits without permission, and there are other issues I'm not experienced enough to resolve (for example 'farming contract' currently redirects to Guildmaster Jane), I've added a note on the Talk:Guildmaster Jane article to this effect. Thanks! FailGun (talk) 13:02, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

New hard clue cryptic steps with the "Song of the Elves" update[edit source]

I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit the hard clue page to add in a new clue step, but besides that, there's a riddle that goes "A general who sets a 'shining' example" and
its a puzzle box from General Hining at the Tyras Camp. Apologies, Zeaddone (talk) 11:27, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

I wanted to see the General Exchange prices for each reanimation spell including the heads, but couldn't figure out how to edit the spell costs table to include an additional row (for people who wanted to buy runes+heads). Is that something that would have to be implemented with an update to the Module:spell_cost_table Lua script? Thanks, -Eckusudee (talk) 10:36, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes, exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Eckusudee (talk) 10:53, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

What is the best way to sandbox CSS for a sandboxed template and eventually add my CSS to a non-sandboxed template?[edit source]

I've been making a template that emulates the appearance of the rune pouch so a user can make mock interfaces for loadouts. I have been testing the module and template using the Sandbox domain under my own user. What is a good way to add CSS that applies only to that page for testing?

I've been using templates that are similar to my project as a guide. Templates like Template:Inventory appear to have their CSS get added to the entire sites CSS via MediaWiki:Common.css, which is protected for good reason. Once my template is fully functioning, how do I go about adding my .less file under MediaWiki:Common.css?

This can be done by creating User:LegendOfBrian/common.css. Keep in mind that for it to be pushed site wide, you'd have to contact an administrator such as myself. --ScuzzyBeta 01:13, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
